Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lighting device having an elastic light transmitting envelope, and to a method for manufacturing such a lighting device.
  • the possibility to control or modify light from a lighting device is of interest for various applications, such as general illumination, room lighting, exterior lighting, decorative lighting, spot lighting etc.
  • applications such as general illumination, room lighting, exterior lighting, decorative lighting, spot lighting etc.
  • a specific light distribution in terms of light distribution angle or light beam orientation relative to an optical axis of the lighting device may be desired.
  • a bulb with a prismatic optics is used to obtain a nearly uniform distribution of light about a luminaire.
  • the prismatic optics include several optic parts having sidewalls with light refracting grooves and protruding members. The grooves and the protruding members are formed to alter the refraction of light emitted from the luminaire so as to achieve a more uniform light distribution.
  • a lighting device comprising a light source, a base extending along a nominal optical axis, and an at least partly light transmitting envelope arranged to at least partly enclose the light source.
  • a first portion of the envelope is adapted to output at least part of light emitted by the light source, and a second portion of the envelope is elastic such that its extension and orientation relative to the nominal optical axis is adjustable.
  • an envelope that can be adjusted in terms of orientation and extension relative to the nominal optical axis, or the base can be used for modifying the light output from the lighting device.
  • Changing the envelope's orientation relative to the base may e.g. allow for an emitted light beam to be redirected relative to the nominal optical axis of the base of the lighting device.
  • adjusting the envelope's extension along the nominal optical axis of the base may affect the shape of the light beam or the distribution of light emitted from the lighting device, e.g. in terms of distribution angle, cone angle or width of the emitted light beam, intensity distribution, and a focal distance.
  • the nominal optical axis should, in the context of the present application, be understood as an axis along which the base is aligned or arranged or having an extension. Alternatively, or additionally, the nominal optical axis may refer to a direction in which light may be emitted from the light source, and may e.g. correspond to an initial path of light originating from the light source.
  • the nominal axis could be referred as an (optical) axis of the base but also of the lighting device when the second portion extends along the same axis as the base and the first portion. In other words, the nominal optical axis could be an optical axis of the lighting device when the base, the second portion and the first portion are aligned, without having the second portion bent, i.e.
  • the base which also may be referred to as a support or socket, may be adapted to fit the lighting device in an external holder or luminaire.
  • the second portion of the envelope may be releasably or permanently attached or fixed to the base.
  • the second portion of the envelope being elastic should in the context of the present application be understood as an ability to resume a normal or nominal shape after being deformed or reshaped, such as e.g. extended, stretched, compressed, squeezed, expanded or bent relative to a nominal shape.
  • shape should be understood as at least an extension along the nominal optical axis of the base (or the lighting device in a nominal state) and/or an orientation relative to said axis or base.
  • a nominal shape could refer to any shape preceding a present shape, or to an initial, normal or original shape.
  • the second portion may be able to resume the nominal shape by its own motion or passively, i.e. by action of e.g. an applied or added force.
  • the second portion and hence the envelope can be reversibly reshaped or deformed into a shape that differs from the nominal shape and lasts or remains for a given period of time, preferably until the second portion actively is brought into another shape, such as e.g. the nominal shape or a previous shape.
  • a lock and release mechanism may be provided to maintain a desired shape.
  • a person or user can himself or herself adjust the lighting device by pulling or pushing.
  • the envelope may be adapted to transmit at least some of light emitted from the light source and to output said light from the lighting device.
  • the output light may be transmitted at least through a portion of the first portion of the envelope, which first portion may optionally be provided with an optical structure, such as a diffractive structure or a refracting structure.
  • the optical structure may be configured to allow for a specific desired optical effect to be achieved, and may e.g. include a focusing lens, such as e.g. a Fresnel lens.
  • the first portion may define an optical axis along which light can be emitted from the lighting device.
  • optical axis may refer to a direction or path of light emitted or output from the first portion
  • nominal optical axis may refer to an axis along which the base or support has an extension.
  • the optical axis of the first portion may be directed along the nominal optical axis of the base or in a direction intersecting the nominal optical axis.
  • the nominal optical axis may e.g. coincide or correspond to the optical axis when the base, the second portion and the first portion are aligned, without having the second portion bent, i.e. when the second portion extends along the same axis as the base and the first portion.
  • first and/or second portion(s) may comprise an at least partly light reflecting portion adapted or arranged to reflect at least some light generated by the light source.
  • the light reflecting portion may e.g. be adapted to redirect light from the light source by means of internal reflection, thereby allowing for a collimating effect or an at least partly focused light beam to be emitted from the lighting device.
  • the properties of the output light may be varied in terms of e.g. intensity distribution, illumination pattern, orientation relative to the optical axis or the nominal optical axis, diffusivity, and color distribution depending on the shape of the envelope, any optical structures and/or light reflecting portions provided at the surface of the envelope.
  • the output light may be provided with an optical effect such as collimation, scattering, lensing, various watermarking or trade marking effects, far field effects and near field effects.
  • the output light may e.g. form a light beam that is emitted from the lighting device at a given angle relative to the nominal optical axis of the base.
  • optical axis of the base is meant the extension within the base of the optical path (or light beam) out of the base.
  • the optical axis of the base may in fact be considered as an “extension” axis of the base. It will also be appreciated that the light source may be placed anywhere in or at the base, or even outside the base.
  • the present aspect is advantageous in that it allows for at least some of the properties and optical effects of the output light to be adjusted by means of the elastic second portion of the envelope.
  • the second portion is extendible and compressible such that a focal point of the first portion is moveable along the nominal optical axis.
  • the extension of the second portion at least along the nominal optical axis can be increased and reduced, respectively, relative to a nominal extension such that the focal point is moved accordingly.
  • the lighting device is adapted to emit a light beam through the first portion, wherein the light beam has a distribution angle relative to an optical path of the light beam (or an optical axis of the first portion) and wherein the second portion is extendible and compressible such that the distribution angle can be adjustable.
  • a distance between the first portion and the light source can be reduced by means of the compressible second portion such that the light source is arranged between the first portion and its focal point.
  • This relative position of the focal point and the first portion is advantageous in that it allows for a relatively wide light beam to be emitted from the lighting device, i.e. a light beam that may be divergent and have a relatively wide light cone or distribution angle.
  • the distance between the first portion and the light source can be increased by means of the extendible second portion such that the focal point can be arranged between the light source and the first portion as seen along the nominal optical axis.
  • Arranging the focal point between the light source and the first portion is advantageous in that a relatively narrow or focused light beam may be provided, which may have a relatively small light cone angle as compared to the case wherein the light source is arranged between the focal point and the first portion.
  • the first portion may e.g. comprise a refracting or focusing lens, such as e.g. a Fresnel lens, which may be oriented such that its focal point coincides with the nominal optical axis of the base or such that an optical axis of the lens at least is directed along the nominal optical axis of the base.
  • a refracting or focusing lens such as e.g. a Fresnel lens
  • the possibility of extending and compressing the second portion such that the focal point is moved along the nominal optical axis of the base is advantageous in that it allows for a light beam having an adjustable beam width or light distribution angle relative to the optical path of the light beam.
  • the second portion is bendable in a direction intersecting the nominal optical axis.
  • the second portion is bendable relative to the base such that the nominal optical axis may intersect a wall of the envelope. This is advantageous in that it allows for light output from the first portion, such as e.g. an emitted light beam, to be pointed at or redirected in a desired direction relative to the nominal optical axis. Bending the second portion may allow for collimating or reflecting properties of the envelope to be adjusted, so as to achieve a desired optical effect.
  • the second portion is arrangeable in a nominal state from which the second portion is extendible into a first state and compressible into a second state.
  • the first state and the second state differ from each other and from the nominal state at least in terms of extension and/or orientation relative to the nominal optical axis (or the base).
  • the second portion, and hence the envelope may be adapted to last in a specific state until it is actively brought into another state by the action of e.g. a user or an actuating means (actuator).
  • the lighting device may remain, or be fixed or locked, in a given state for a desired period of time, e.g. by means of a lock and release mechanism.
  • a focal point of the first portion may coincide with a position of the light source as the second portion is in its nominal state.
  • the light source can be moved in and out of focus as the second portion is extended or compressed into the first and second state, respectively.
  • Arranging the focal point at the position of the light source also allows for an image of the light source to be produced by the light emitted from the lighting device.
  • the second portion may be reversibly foldable.
  • the second portion may e.g. be bent over itself so that one part of it at least partly covers another as the second portion is compressed. As the second portion is extended or decompressed, it may be at least partly unfolded as compared with the folded state.
  • the second portion may e.g. be bellow-shaped, i.e. having a concertinaed sidewall allowing the second portion to expand and contract during extension and compression.
  • an outer surface of the first portion may be provided with a light refracting structure comprising at least one of grooves, protrusions, micro-grooves, micro-protrusions, micro-prismatic grooves, micro-prismatic protrustions, a lens, a Fresnel lens and a diffraction grating.
  • the optical structure may e.g. be light refracting and/or light diffracting so as to provide a desired optical effect, including e.g. focusing or defocusing of an emitted light beam, visual pattern in the near field of far field, or a specific color distribution.
  • the first portion and the second portion may form a single piece. Further, at least one of the first and the second portions may comprise an at least partly light transmitting plastic material, which e.g. may be blow molded so as to form an envelope having a desired shape and/or optical properties.
  • the light source may comprise a solid state light source.
  • the solid state light source may e.g. comprise a light emitting diode (LED). It will however be understood that the solid state light source may in principle comprise any kind of solid state element that is able to generate and emit light.
  • Solid state light sources are advantageous in that they generate light at a relatively lower heat generation, in particular as compared to incandescent light sources.
  • a relatively lower heat generation may e.g. reduce the risk for heat induced damages of the plastic material of the envelope, thereby allowing for relatively more heat sensitive plastic materials to be used.
  • a smaller lighting device may also be achieved as the envelope can be arranged relatively closer to the light source without risking to be heat damaged. Further, a relatively lower heat generation may reduce the risk for a user to be burned when touching the envelope, thereby facilitating handling of the lighting device during operation.
  • Red/green/blue (RGB) LEDs may advantageously be used to provide dynamic color light and/or white light output from the lighting device.
  • the solid state elements may be of the same type or of different types.
  • a method for manufactuing a lighting device comprising a light source, a base extending along a nominal optical axis, and an at least partly light-transmitting envelope.
  • the method comprises arranging the envelope such that it at least partly encloses the light source. Further, the envelope is arranged such that a first portion of the envelope is adapted to output light emitted by the light source, and such that a second portion of the envelope is elastic such that its extension and orientation relative to the nominal optical axis is adjustable.
  • an at least partly light transmitting material is arranged in a mold having a surface structure arranged on an inner surface portion of the mold.
  • the plastic material is then blow molded to form the envelope, which is removed from the mold.
  • the surface structure is at least partly transferred to the plastic material during the blow molding, thereby forming the light refracting portion at the envelope.
  • the optical structure such as e.g. a diffractive or refractive optical structure, may be designed to allow for a desired optical effect and patterned in a surface of the mold, such that the optical structure can be transferred to the surface of the bulb.
  • a desired optical effect can thus be obtained from the envelope itself.
  • plastic envelope can be manufactured using other plastic molding techniques as well, such as e.g. injection molding.
  • Transparent or at least partly light transmitting materials might include polyethylene terephtalate (PET) or transparent polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) or others.
  • optical structure While it is difficult to introduce fine structures in a typical metal mold, fine, diffractive optical elements or surface structures can be introduced into a blow molding mold and then transferred to the blow molded plastic envelope as an optical structure. It will however be appreciated that the optical structure may be formed using other 3D-patterning techniques as well, such as e.g. stamping, micro stamping or surface contact imprint lithography (SCIL).
  • SCIL surface contact imprint lithography
  • optical structures which may be transferred to the surface of the bulb may be manifold, yet grouped into several subtopics.
